I
think the political quote of the week comes from the anonymous pundit
who reported of Rochester and Strood: "Labour suffer crushing defeat by
losing safe Conservative seat to Ukip". But he only just caps Mr
Eugenides, who tweets:
"Stupid woman tweets photo of white van and flags, resigns. Stupid man
calls for compulsory repatriation of legal EU residents, is elected".

Turnout is reported at 50.67 percent, against 51.13 percent at Clacton.
Reckless thus came in with 16,867 votes, representing 22.5 percent of
the electorate - one in five of the voting public. This is significantly
down on Clacton where Carswell took 30.5 percent of the popular vote.
We are seeing yet another failure of the Angry Party to set the
election on fire.

That Ukip was going to win, though, has not been in doubt for some time, which means "death camp" Reckless the Repatriater is briefly returned as MP - albeit the indications are that the margin will not be as great as some expect.

His tenure will perhaps last only until the general election. But his move to Ukip will bring no tears from Peter Oborne. He
describes the Repatriater as "a brutish and low-grade specimen who
ought not have been permitted to stand in the Conservative interest".
His defection to Ukip nearly two months ago, Oborne adds, "reflected
well on David Cameron's Conservative Party, making it a better place".

Interestingly, Reckless will be addressing the Bruges Group annual
conference in London on Saturday. He was invited while he was still a
Conservative MP and, if he turns up, will be able to put his views on
his change of heart to a discerning audience.

By coincidence,
this will be followed on the Monday by Owen Paterson, who is planning a
major speech on the EU. Oborne expects Mr Paterson "to develop the
argument that Britain's future lies outside Europe", and that may well
be the case.

If Mr Paterson goes further and outlines details
of how we should go about leaving the EU, he will be ramping up the
pressure on UKIP which, after 20 years of existence, is still unable to
deliver a coherent (or any) EU exit plan.

And, trailing in the wake of the Guardian, which led the fray in noting the great UKIP policy vacuum, we now see the Telegraph
picking up the same thread. "The party can no longer get away with
simply behaving like the outsiders of British politics", the paper says,
"free to dish out criticism but outraged when it is directed towards
them". It adds: "Over the next few months, their policies on every issue
should be subjected to the closest possible scrutiny".

This is
an interesting observation. We have been known to remark the Ukip
supporters, uniquely, seem to believe that their party should be immune
from criticism. Now, the Telegraph lends its way to a counter view.

Meanwhile, we are being regaled
with rumours of additional Conservative MPs deserting to the
policy-free UKIP, maybe attracted by the relief of not having to
remember what your party's policies actually are.

However, we
are now past the six month cut-off, which means there will be no more
by-elections this side of the general. Any MPs who do jump ship and
follow the Carswell-Reckless model in resigning their seats are likely
to be out in the cold until May – or even longer – reduced to burning
their rosettes.

At least, now, we are spared the sight of
prancing politicians and prattling pundits giving us the benefit of
their ignorance. Instead, we can revel in Mr Kelner's claim
that other parties haven't a clue how to beat Ukip – until Monday, that
is, when we may get an illustration of how policy trumps vacuum.

Hi,

ANNOUNCEMENT:

For
nearly 24 hours, the EU Referendum domain has come under massive denial
of service (DOS) attack, from servers bearing Chinese IP addresses. All
the action we can take is being taken, but there are limits to what can
be done to deal with what is a deliberate, malicious attack, directed
specifically at EU Ref.

We hope to be up and running soon, but in the meantime please bear with us.

The guns appear to be out for Farage and his band of nihlists. Yesterday's article in the Mail on Sunday ´Fascists, Felons, and Fanatical Fools' was unusually well researched, ´albeit somewhat overdue, and will have struck a raw nerve. We were very pleased to note that some of the content was lifted from this blog.

We were also delighted to note certain snippets that could only have come from the inside. There are moves afoot to knock staffer Aurelie Laloux from her perch, and we may have just witnessed the opening shots in that civil war.

Farage may or may not have been upset by scathing remarks made about him by one of his group's Italian MEPs. Eleonora Bechis does not hold Nigel Farage in high regard. She calls him ‘a misogynist, homophobe and xenophobe,’ adding that he thinks ‘like a financial speculator’ who has adopted the ideas of the far-Right. ‘His only gift is that he is a great speaker, full of hot air.’ He may, however, be upset by what happens next......

GUEST POST

The wife of Nigel Farage yesterday barred The Telegraphfrom a Ukip fringe meeting instructing MEPs how to secure taxpayer-funded holidays for their friends and supporters.

Kirsten Farage asked this newspaper to leave a fringe meeting outlining an EU scheme that subsidises holidays for political activists to Brussels and Strasbourg.

The European Union spends £25 million on the subsidies for tours arranged through Euro-MPs' offices.

Under the scheme, holiday makers are handed a subsidy of up to £200 in cash if they include a short visit to the European Parliamentary in their itinerary. That money can then be used to pay for hotel rooms, meals and transport.

Ukip's use of the scheme comes despite Mr Farage's party being ostensibly opposed to wasteful spending in Brussels.

Mrs Farage helped organise the briefing for the party's new MEPs, which was held in a suite overlooking the track at Doncaster Racecourse at the party's conference.
"Oh dear," she said as TheTelegraph arrived at the event, which had been advertised in the conference schedule handed to delegates. "We didn't really want the press."
"I'd much rather not have any press here. It's an internal event.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to send you away." She said the meeting was to instruct new MEPs of the "logistics" of booking trips.
Asked about the scheme, she said: "Every MEP is allowed to take visitors' groups over from their constituency or region, or councillors, or business groups they are supporting, or supporting them. It's an EU scheme."

She added: "It's a nice thing to do."

One five-day package advertised on a stand at Ukip conference, organised by a private tour operator, included a visit to the castles of Koblenz, a tour of Strasbourg Cathedral and a boat trip along the Rhine. The visit to the Parliament in Strasbourg lasts two and a half hours. After the EU subsidy, the holiday costs £389 a head.
Another seven-day Ukip tour takes in Verona, Lake Garda, an excursion to Venice and a tour of Vicenza, known as the City of Gold, before driving on to Strasbourg for a short visit to the Parliament.
Other taxpayer-subsidised tours incorporate visits to the tapestry at Bayeux and Monet's garden in Giverny before visiting the European Parliament in Brussels.

This photograph, allegedly taken in the late 1970s, appears to show a young Nigel Farage making his second publically recorded political statement (the first being when he was seen by staff at his private school singing Nazi songs).

Farage is known to have more than a passing aquaintance with Punk Rock, a fact which makes the picture particularly interesting to us.

One fact we can confirm is that UKIP want this picture purged from the internet.

We note that Farage's alleged mistress Annabelle Fuller has had numerous articles about her removed from the Google search engine. UKIP - rewriting history!

It must be the most stomach churning display of Nigel Farage's sense of self importance to date.

Following the tragic shooting down of Malaysian airlines flight MH 17, one might have expected a word or two of sympathy from the aspiring Lord Farage. But no, what we got from Farage was a headline 'I was at Schipol airport as passengers checked in for flight MH17'
Well so what? Does this jumped up little man really think that he is so important that this matters to the world?

Some years ago, the Tory MEP Nirj Deva, a man so convinced of his own maginificence that he actually nominated himself for the office of secretary general of the UN, issued a press statement headlined 'Nirj Deva survives sunami'.

There are other similarities between the two egos - like Farage, Deva is desperate to get to the Lords, and rumours are that he will get there in a year or so. Also, amusingly, we are told that Farage's bag carriers in Brussels often refer to him behind his back as 'Nirjel'!

GUEST POST

A Ukip parliamentary candidate and his branch chairman have resigned after claiming the local party is being infiltrated by what they see as "occultists".

﻿

UKIP MEP Jill Seymour in her younger days

Jake Baynes, who was to run in the Somerset city of Wells at next year's general election, said he felt he was being driven out by local members, including a couple based in nearby Glastonbury who practise alternative healing, which they claim is inspired and guided by angels.

Baynes, a teacher who stood at the last general election for Ukip, said: "I do think if someone is saying you are in touch with the angelic realms I have to call into question their judgment.

"Everyone's got their different beliefs. It's not for me to belittle anyone's beliefs. People have different views. But if Ukip is trying to shake off this fruitcake image thing, we're not doing a good job of it."

Graham Livings, who resigned as Ukip's Wells constituency branch chairman, said: "We've been infiltrated by the Glastonbury occult. I've heard a lot of people say locally they won't be voting for Ukip because of this. It needs to be addressed. Jake was an excellent candidate. I'm standing down in solidarity."

Ssshhh .... Don't tell anybody, but Nigel is lying

Farage's new
French colleague caused quite a stir upon joining him, of course, but
the line put out by the EFD about her Front National past was
(surprise surprise) highly misleading. Quite a few reports quoted an EFD press release which said
Bergeron;"has admitted that she had
joined the party with great hopes but realized that their philosophy was very different."

This implies that she joined the FN naively but quickly left
it when she discovered what it believed in.

The idea that any French person would be unaware of the position of the FN is simply ridiculous. However, perhaps she genuinely did not notice and it took her a while to suss it out. Quite a while, in fact, as she joined the FN in 1972, the year it was founded, and became a party organizer within just a few years, at the time which the FN was at its most extremist.

In fact, she must be really stupid not to notice, as her husband was a also senior party member.

Like her, he joined when the party was created. He was politically active in Lorient in Brittany from 1984, as a candidate in national, regional and cantonal elections. And here's the real give away - he was a member of the Front National's Central Committee from autumn 2007.

Look, I said it before, I'll say it again, we will never sit with the FN

So the press release was clearly a deliberate attempt to deceive the UKIP membership, as well as the press and the electorate. And now we can see how desperate Farage is to be president of a pan-European political group, and how easily he can discard his moral and political values.The question is, how the new UKIP MEPs feel about all this, and what will they do about it? Will they continue to spout the lie that Bergeron left the FN when she worked out what they were about, or will they admit that they now sit in a political group with one of Europe's longest serving and most established fascists, from one of the EU's dirtiest and mst racist parties? Or are they, to a man and a women, either too scared of Farage to say anything, and too scared to lose their jobs by doing something about it?

> This Rather Looks Like A Sad Reflection On British Justice!

Hi,

You may find some of the facts below; and there many downloads and screen captures which I have supporting the opinions below; of interest IF you value campaigning for British Justice, responsible & competent police and cleaning-up Ukip to make it fit for purpose!

It is believed that John Ison used to post occasionally as “Paul Beech”, which is BP backwards - Bob Pacific on blog also. It was removed (changed to Dave Briggs!) I hear this was done after it was shown to a UKIP MEP in Sept 2010!

“The Common Man” (Oh so Very common!) was MC backwards - Mark Croucher. This was verified for me by a UKIP Brussels insider (Croucher admitted it) at the time.

Mjolnir post on the subject was removed by BDF Moderators!

I can’t find an internet archive of Skeptyk’s BDF entry on the subject or his sordid and dishonest blog, and my source of screenshots have gone missing! It was December 2010, and posted Gregg Beeman’s salary details, but I doubt it was Ison as he was driving to the Alps about that time, so my guess is Croucher.

The information in the downloads was seemingly obtained in a burglary of Nikki Sinclaire’s office by John Ison and I hold a copy of the eMail he sent, containing copies of the material he obtained, somedozens of scans, obtained either by burglary or at very least dishonestly, supplied to the duplicitous and dishonest Mark Croucher - who worked as Nigel Farage’s sewer rat seeking out any material that could be used by Farage and his cronies to manipulate and control people – Notably it was Nigel Farage’s son who commented to Roger Knapman that he was the only person on whom his father did not have a (black) file!

The so called evidence against Nikki Sinclaire would seem to have been obtained by theft including burglary also recordings of phone calls recorded by John Ison and edited by Mark Croucher is also available – whether the police know that the evidence was stolen and the recordings edited I know not! However after almost 30 months on bail it is clear the police have had to drop a number of their original claims against Sinclaire & the 3 members of her staff originally bailed, as they obviously have failed to stand them up even when aided by the dishonest and self serving John Ison or anyone who worked for Farage!

There is absolutely no doubt that any errors of claiming by Nikki Sinclaire (or more likely her staff and most probably deliberate claims inserted into her accounts by third party efforts to damage her) do NOT justify the prolonged period of bail used to smear her name on the grounds of ‘Justice delayed is justice denied’!

The standards of behaviour by the police and others in these allegations give one every concern for the calibre of justice that can be expected and even a guilty verdict would not seem justice in the long run!

Clearly Justice should be seen to be done and much of the behaviour of those involved in the accusations and allegations, not to mention gathering of information and the vile gutter commentaries of a personal nature against Nikki Sinclaire by many of the low lifes associated with Ukip that this shoddy police activituy has caused is a matter not of dignity or competence on the part of the police or Ukip and its associates but a slur on both the body politic and the tennets of Justice in these United Kingdoms.

It has been suggested by a retired police Acting Chief Supt. of 30 years distinguished service that:

ALSO the fact that despite his many lies and efforts to deny his crimes and seek to claim they were invented by myself Derek Clark UKIP MEP was found guilty by OLAF of extensive false claims of EU expenses and was merely ordered to repay somewhere between £50K & £100,000 and seemingly no further action was taken.

In the case of Stuart Agnew MEP UKIP no action was seemingly taken to recoup the numerous £1,000s he falsely claimed as expenses as he admitted on camera to The Sunday Times nor against David Bannerman MEP UKIP (now a Tory MEP!) similarly implicated and neither have cleared their name!

It is also worthy of note that Nigel Farage has also been accused of dishonest accounting having failed to declare donations to UKIP of over £200,000 and there is also still the issue of what happened to what may have been as much as £1M collected through the Ashford ‘scheme’ which he described as 'UKIP’s best ever money maker', however the party chairman, David Bannerman spoke on a point of orderr in reasponse to Richard Suchorzewski at a public meeting in Derbyshire, conceding that less than 15% of the money raised was ever presented to UKIP!

There was it seemed extensive money laundering in that large sums of money were processed through credit card donations which were processed through the credit card machine of Graham Booth UKIP MEP’s Hotel in Torquay!

Similarly there were many £1,000s collected in buckets and if accounted at all only loosely, as the outcome of the Court case brought against UKip by The Electoral Commission, which UKip lost, though UKip turned the issue to advantage seeking to raise the money and costs by bucket collections at a series of public events and by seeking donations. Contrary to claims the donation made by Alan Bown was clearly a breech of the rules as Alan Bown had removed himself from the electoral register as, I understand a part of his divorce proceedings when he left his wife and was co-habiting with one of his betting shop manageresses. Thus the donation was not legal!

A situation bearing many similarities to the donation UKip received some years previously when they accepted a sizeable donation from the owner of a UK football club who was not on the electoral register. UKip, without complaint, refunded the money that had been an unlawfull donation and arrangements were made by thwe donor to have it re-donated in a legal manner (in that case I believe it was by his wife who was on the electoral register) - Just as could have been done relative to Alan Bown's donation.

Despite claims by dishonest or ill informed UKip members this was not a case of ElCom picking on UKip relative to the large donation made by an individual, subsequently found to be criminal, made to the Lib.Dims. as in that case they had carried out due diligence, even going so far as to contact ElCom for a ruling on the matter before utilising the money. I understand at the time of rec eipt of the money the individual was on the electoral register and neither the Lib.Dims. nor ElCom could have had any idea he was subsequerntly to be found guilty of criminality!

I was reliably informed, at the time of the start of this sorry debacle, that as soon as the tampering with her accounts took place and she was aware of it she immediately contacted the EU Payments Office and provided all the details she could and whether the EU Payments Office arranged repayment or merely wrote it off as being a paltry amount relative to the normal level of squandering of tax payer's money that is endemic in the undemocratic and corrupt EU, I know not.

On these few comments alone and the links given it becomes all too apparently clear, in my opinion, that this is little short of malicious prosecution, seemingly for political gain or pure malice, of some sort, of individuals or groups of individuals and that the lack of ethical behaviour in extending the bail period from Feb-2012 (after Nikki Sinclaire herself had made public, and I believe had reported this to the police, she had reason to believe her accounts had been maliciously tampered with by a member of staff she believed had possibly made false claims and stolen from her) until this week.

Some 29 months on bail, with no further questioning and apparently no details of the police claims supplied, is little short of harassment and could justifiably be claimed as having ensured she was not re-elected as an MEP and is thus currently unemployed, technically, with a case pending which ensures she will be unable to get responsible employment until justice has been seen to be done and her name cleared – presumably with a healthy level of compensation!

Particularly as it is clearly shown and provable, in her accounts, that Nikki Sinclaire injected a sum in excess of £120,000 of her own money from salary and other personal sources also used a large sum of fully audited money, raised through donations, to fund her work and responsibilities, as she believed them to be (viz: obtaining 220,000 signatures to her petition to HM Government which was the direct and sole cause of David Cameron being forced to hold a debate of the House of Commons relative to Britain's membership of the EU and thus the undertaking of an IN/OUT referendum, which he clearly led thwe public to believe would be binding).

It is bizarre to believe that an individual who donated a sum well in excess of £100K would then bother with some penny ante sum (by the standards of fraud in the EU by MEPs) - had she wished to gain more income a few £1.000 on mistakenly claimed travel expenses would be dwarfed by her net loss of personal monies through her donations. Even were the police able to engineer a conviction I do not believe Justice would be seen to be done and it is my opinion the entire matter is seeking to 'get egg off the face of The police' for having firstly believed the miscreants who would seem to have dishonestly and deliberately 'set her up' and for secondly having so tardily acted to bring the matter to Court even if they believe they have a case.

Monday, 27 February 2012

In March last year, an e-mail emerged suggesting that UKIP's Mark
Croucher had been receiving information stolen from an MEP's office. The
e-mail contained dozens of highly sensitive and personal documents,
relating to the MEP, and was sent by John Ison to winballpizard@yahoo.co.uk. It seems that this e-mail address belongs to Mark Croucher.

; To: 'winballpizard@yahoo.co.uk'; Subject: Download this NOT the others!!

Previously, in September 2010, immediately before the Party Conference
in Torquay, Ison was believed to have met with members of UKIP's NEC,
and is believed to have colluded in making vexatious allegations against
Nikki Sinclaire. The allegations were to be orchestrated, with a blog
posting by political pundit Iain Dale being the catalyst by which the
media were to be drawn in. Dale was not happy at being duped.

And another dimension can be added to this rather sordid little man's tale. Ison was allegedly on Paul Nuttall's payroll.

The odious Paul 'Mussolini' Nuttall

The dates between which he was employed by Nuttall are uncertain, but
this suggests that the UKIP hierarchy was not only party to criminal
activity, in that an official received stolen information, but that it
possibly sanctioned and even paid for it.

Ison is desperate to become an MEP and is willing to prostitute himself
in order to achieve this aim. Such are the filth and scum that Farage
and Nuttall surround themselves with. As Nikki Sinclaire has said:

'The
allegations at hand are old allegations from a disgruntled ex-employee
who himself is under investigation and whose motives are entirely
political to pursue his advancement in UKIP'. LINK

>GUEST POST:

We note with interest that Annabelle Fuller appears to have taken advantage of the 'right to be forgotten' by Google. This is not a bad idea in itself, however, whilst her name no longer brings up outrageous stories about affairs and false allegtions of sexual assault, the words 'nigel farage mistress' bring it all back.

So sadly, Miss Fuller will always be remembered by Google as 'Nigel Farages mistress!

Wednesday, 2 July 2014

Miss Fuller confirmed today that she was planning to quit but did not comment further.
A friend said: “Annabelle thinks it is best for her and for the party that she moves on.
"Leaving is in no way an admission on her part that she has done anything wrong. But the events of the past few days have been really difficult.
"Annabelle simply wants her life back.”
We can also reveal that ex-UKIP MEP Nikki Sinclaire – who this week asked Farage why he used public money to pay Miss Fuller – was snubbed for the job his alleged mistress was given.
Mark Croucher, who was UKIP’s director of communications between 2001 and 2007, confirmed he interviewed her for a job in the party’s press office.
She was turned down because of her “abrasive personality” and Miss Fuller was recruited instead. UKIP insiders say it raises the prospect that Sinclaire asked her explosive question as an act of revenge.
The source said: “Nikki has never got over the fact Annabelle was chosen above her to work for the party. She is a woman scorned and that has come back to haunt Nigel this week.”
A UKIP spokesman added: “The comments by Sinclaire are beneath contempt and that person has abused parliamentary privilege. Sinclaire has been saying the same thing since 2006.”

GUEST POST:Meet the neighbours, Nigel....!
UKIP has announced that it is forming a new group in the European Parliament. As predicted, he has acted out of desperation and lurched to the right. In fact, to the sickeningly far-right. The group will include the Sweden Democrats. Lets take a little look at them, shall we?

This charming young lady is Tina Hallgren Bengtsson, member of city council for the Sweden Democrats in the town of Höör, in full Nazi regalia. Until they were banned, itwas common for people to attend in uniform during Sweden Democrat meetings. This lady subsequently left the Sweden Democrats to join the neo-Nazi National Socialist Front.

The gentleman on the left of this picture, is Ulf Ranshede, one of the founders of the Sweden Democrats. He has a conviction for inflicting grevious bodily harm on a 14 year old boy. Still, being an immigrant, Ranshede probably thought he deserved it. Ranshede would have got on well with Mario Boghezio, the obese Italian fascist who sat with UKIP until recently. He also had a conviction for assault on an immigrant child.

Although the party claims to have purged itself of skinheads, the skinhead in these pictures is Erik Almqvist, the Sweden Democrats former economic policy spokesman. He calls the man a "Paki lover", before embarking on an assault on a woman, and a drunken rampage brandishing a scaffold pole through the streets with fellow Sweden Democrat Kent Ekeroth.

This happened in 2010. In 2013 Almqvist was forced to resign his seat in parliament as a result of the outrage.

And there's more.
After the serial killer and bank robber John “the Laser Man” Ausonius shot 11 immigrants in Stockholm, the Sweden Democrats arranged a march during which participants screamed that he should have shot more foreigners.

Shortly afterwards, police arrested the leader of the party’s youth wing at a Communist May Day demonstration for possessing a hand grenade. “For many thousands of years, the Negro could chill out in the heat, munch some bananas, rape some passing woman or child, fight with other Negro males, and eat them,” one local Sweden Democratic politician, Per Wahlberg, wrote on his blog in September 2010.

Some months later, another local Sweden Democrat named Isak Nygren said that he opposed “race mixing” and that Swedes should not have intercourse with “Asians” or “Negroes.”

In summer 2012, local politician Pär Norling said that practicing Muslims should be deported and Islam should be banned in Sweden.

Member of parliament Stellan Bojerud, author of a book called Nazism in Sweden 1924-1945, claimed that scientific research shows that immigrants have a “lower IQ” than Swedes.

The Guardian reported that Anders Breivik had received a speaking invitation from the Sweden Democrats. After Breivik's attack, the Sweden Democrats’ press secretary quickly claimed that Islamists were responsible for the
attacks.

Another notorious figure from the far-right to have received, and accepted, a speaking invite from the Sweden Democrats is Alan Lake of the English Defence League (EDL).

Here at Junius Towers, we have been aware for some time of some interesting events surrounding Nathan Gill, UKIP MEP and alleged gangmaster. We have looked forward to putting some meat on the bones, and so our thanks to Jac O' the North for this blog post. Our previous tip offs appear to be confirmed. But we did not expect these revelations about the Gill family. We suspect that Gill will provide us with a lot of entertainment, if only for a short time.

Enjoy...................﻿

"My previous post on Nathan Gill MEP is the most popular I’ve ever written. It even got taken up by the print media, or rather, it was cursorily written up by the Wasting Mule with that account then repeated by newspapers from the Independent to the Belfast Telegraph plus BBC Wales which, unintentionally no doubt, introduced humour with a quote from Peter Hain accusing Gill of “bare-faced hypocrisy” (when it comes to hypocrisy Mr Hain is a man who knows of what he speaks). Martin Shipton, who wrote the Mule account, focused solely on the contradiction inherent in Gill representing a party that is anti-immigration and anti-EU while employing workers from eastern Europe and the Phillipines. As if that were all there is to it. It’s not, there’s a lot more.

As might be expected, one ‘paper that got involved rather more enthusiastically was the Hull Daily Mail, through its reporter Angus Young. First with this, and then this. The second report is the more interesting for a number of reasons. First, it shows us a younger, fresh-faced Nathan Gill. Also because it tells of his (or someone’s) plans for Plane Street Methodist Church off Anlaby Road in west Hull. A report of the fire suffered by that building on November 5th 2001 can be found to the right (click to enlarge). The report quotes Gill as blaming the fire on kids with fireworks, but my informant describes the fire as being more “suspicious”, and says it followed the refusal of planning permission for the building.

In this report Gill is described as “general manager of Kingston Care, based on Holderness Road, east Hull”. Holderness Road we know well from my previous post; Gill had a number of properties there and it is also the location of a Mormon church, but Kingston Care is a new player in this farce. The only company I can find with such a name is based in York, and is in the business of the “provision of lodgings” (see below left). No member of the Gill family is mentioned among its directors. This company was finally struck off in November 2006. Could there have been two companies, operating at the same time, in the same area, with the same name? Seems unlikely. So was Gill working for Kingston Care?

The newspaper reports thus far have, without actually using the word, described Gill as a gangmaster, a term we more usually associate with those using east European labour in agriculture, or illegal Chinese immigrants for cockle-picking. He housed migrants who either worked in the Gill family business or else were contracted to Hull city council and other bodies.

With the latter paying Gill £x to supply labour, and him paying those workers £x minus his cut, on top of which, he was getting paid rent by everyone living in his bunkhouses, almost certainly in cash. This recruitment of foreign labour is defended by Gill on the grounds that he couldn’t get local labour, though comments to the Hull Daily Mail articles question this claim.

My original informant made contact again yesterday, to tell me that Nathan Gill, together with his brothers-in-law, was operating migrant labour accommodation in other cities, Portsmouth and Plymouth were mentioned. The rents were collected, presumably in cash, by a “Polish Lithuanian” who was then – according to my informant – falsely accused of theft when money went ‘missing’ from Burgill Ltd. It is suggested that if this ‘rent-collector’ could be located, and was prepared to talk, then the potential for bean-spilling would be considerable. I was also told of Nathan Gill and his sister(s) being sent to the USA to marry approved Mormon spouses! Which, if true, would presumably mean that the brothers-in-law allegedly involved with Gill as gangmasters would be US citizens? And seeing as they are all Mormons, I have to ask again; was this Gill’s personal scam or a business venture to improve further the already healthy finances of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints? After all, they were exploiting Catholic Poles, little better than heathens in the eyes of Mormons.

This information, if true – and my informant has been very reliable up to now – means that Gill wasn’t just recruiting workers for care homes in Hull due to a shortage of local recruits, but was in the migrant labour business big time, as I say, a gangmaster. In fact, the exploitation of migrant labour, rather than care homes, may have been his – and the family’s – business. In which case the care homes could be viewed as a ‘front’. Enquiries now need to be made in Portsmouth and Plymouth to see if evidence can be found for Gill operating in these cities as he was in Hull.

Finally, just before posting I received another contribution, suggesting that what Gill had told the Wasting Mule, about Burgill Ltd sinking “when the HSBC ended its borrowing facility in the wake of the banking crisis”, may be untrue. My informant suggests that what really happened was that a creditor lost patience and filed for compulsory liquidation. Plausible, for Burgill was always run at a loss. Quite amazing, considering that it had two sizeable income streams: the Gill care home(s), Hull city council and other clients; then the rent from an unknown number of foreign workers. My guess is that Nathan Gill and his associates were making a lot of money from their activities but not all of it – perhaps very little – went through the Burgill accounts. This would explain the “skimming” allegations made by my informant and the suggested interest of the tax authorities. It may be worth going through the Burgill accounts with a fine-tooth comb.

Nathan Gill was employing people for whom he was also landlord. Anyone who crossed him risked losing both job and ‘home’, in a strange land, with whose language and customs they were unfamiliar. An arrangement owing more to the nineteenth century or the third world than twenty-first century England. This would have given him a very powerful hold over these unfortunate people.

Despite all that, I would not have brought up the now elderly Ronald Gill’s crimes were it not for two things. First, Nathan Gill himself, more than once, entertains us with talk of “the family business”, which means he was a business associate of his ‘homeopath’ father. Second, Ronald Gill became a shareholder in Burgill Ltd.

From what I know of the Gills, I wouldn’t trust them to run a burger van. They come across as a dishonest, dysfunctional and rather odd crowd. I can’t help thinking that, if they’d been poor, then the social workers would have been in there when the father was sent down in 1988. But despite everything, they managed to put over a mirage of pious, middle class respectablity which we now know was a deceit. But shouldn’t we have known this earlier, before the European elections of May 22nd?

If we refer back to my May 15 post, Wales Euro Elections 2014: Runners & Riders we see 44 candidates representing 11 parties standing for the 4 seats. Most can be dismissed as no-hopers (and that includes the Liberal Democrats), which leaves us with the top candidates of five parties. The No 1 candidates for Labour, Conservative and Plaid Cymru were all seeking re-election, they were known, as were many of the others. The only unknown quantity guaranteed to be elected was Nathan Gill. He should have been the focus of the election coverage – Who is he? What do we know about him? The Welsh media made no such enquiries.
I am convinced that if what we know now had been known to the electorate before the election then Ukip would have got many fewer votes. It might not be stretching things too far to say that the Welsh media, or the lack of one, could be largely responsible for Wales being lumbered with Nathan Gill.

This other informant earlier sent me news of doings on Anglesey, mainly concerning Michael Ronald Gill, Nathan Gill’s father. In 1988 Gill senior was sent down for indecent assault, with other charges of rape and buggery left on file. Gill Senior, after 20 years in the RAF, set himself up as a homeopath, with ‘consulting rooms’ in Llanerchymedd. There he hypnotised women, many of them Mormons, persuading them to take off their clothes, after which he ‘treated’ them. I can’t believe I’m writing this, but these women then paid him for his ‘services’. Anyway, read it for yourself, though I should say that the pages from the Holyhead & Anglesey Mail were sent to me as A3 photocopies, so the quality isn’t perfect, and page 2 is incomplete. But I’m sure you’ll get the gist of it.

All this tells us that Gill pere is, or was, over-sexed, but there are other nuggets in the report that should interest us more. Among these is the news that Michael Ronald Gill was expelled from the Mormons some five years earlier for “preaching false doctrine”, and left the Gaerwen congregation after “certain problems” . . . whatever these might have meant in practice, we have to assume that it did not mean ostracisation, seeing as Mormon women still sought out his homeopathic talents. Elsewhere in the newspaper report, a representative of Bangor Rape Crisis Line is quoted as saying: “In the past he (Gill) has already served 18 months for theft . . . “. So what was that about? Was the crime committed back in Hull, or after the Gills decided to inflict themselves on Wales?

I am grateful to Cneifiwr for drawing my attention to this amazing coincidence. Here we have two Englishmen, with the same surname, of roughly the same age, moving to western Wales and practising very similar scams in order to satisfy their sexual perversions. A truly amazing coincidence. Are they related? (I had picked up on this Carmarthenshire case earlier, and covered it in my Neighbours From Hell post, but I failed to remember the shared surname.)
My overseas contributor also drew my attention to this news item from October 2011. Used tyres were being illegally stored and sorted at an address in Menai Bridge before being exported to Ghana. A search warrant was executed for an address in Llangefni. Now, think hard, who do we know living in Menai Bridge, with a very close family member living in Llangefni? Anyone tempted to dismiss this as yet another example of Jack the Lad behaviour should ponder that imported worn tyres is one of the biggest causes of deaths on Ghana’s roads. This was no victimless crime.

Despite all that, I would not have brought up the now elderly Ronald Gill’s crimes were it not for two things. First, Nathan Gill himself, more than once, entertains us with talk of “the family business”, which means he was a business associate of his ‘homeopath’ father.
